To keep clients safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dawn Boyd is currently offering online divorce mediations. During this challenging time, you and your spouse may have decided it is time to officially end your marriage. Through mediation, you can do so with dignity and reach a divorce settlement that is fair to both of you. Given the current situation, conducting the process online will help keep you safe and protect your health.

Legal Issues that Can Be Resolved through Online Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation is a process that is guided by an experienced mediator like Dawn Body. You and your spouse can layout the general legal issues that you must resolve to proceed with an uncontested divorce. Common issues that are successfully resolved through mediation include:

• Division of property
• Division of debt
• Child custody
• Visitation
• Child support
• Spousal support

The COVID-19 outbreak has also raised some unique challenges that can be addressed through online divorce mediation, such as:

• How to relocate during a public health emergency
• How to practice social distancing within the same household
• Whether visitation should occur if a child’s health is at risk
• How to co-parent during self-quarantine
• How to handle a child or spousal support if recently laid off

Dawn Boyd can help you resolve these issues efficiently and amicably.

Online divorce mediation offers participants several key benefits that are particularly important during this trying time, such as:

• Convenience – You can participate in online divorce mediation at a time and place that is convenient for you.
• Fast – In comparison to litigation, mediation can drastically decrease the amount of time it takes to resolve legal issues.
• More pleasant – Litigation pits parties against each other while mediation brings them together in a spirit of cooperation.
• Flexibility – Courts are not known for being creative. However, you and your spouse can brainstorm ways that you can make your divorce work for you, such as nontraditional custody arrangements or an agreement in which you continue to reside in the family home until your children graduate high school.
• Private – You do not have to discuss your family issues in a public forum like a courtroom when you have the option of using online divorce mediation. You, your spouse, the mediator and only other parties you want to be involved in the process will be privy to what you discuss during the mediation process.
• More affordable – By reaching an agreement together, you can drastically reduce the number of attorney’s fees you each pay separately.

The sooner you get started with mediation, the sooner you can amicably part ways.
